:::::EDIT: You can be an Administrator without doing those things, but you'd be a very lousy administrator if you only look at it as a job where you can play with the pretty buttons. At the very least, know that Ryan understands this too. --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 20:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC) | :::::EDIT: You can be an Administrator without doing those things, but you'd be a very lousy administrator if you only look at it as a job where you can play with the pretty buttons.

:::What I meant was that those are the only extra things an admin can do, that a regular user can not. Of course an admin should be good with the community, but if there are other things that the user does better than that, and does those things well, then that user is just as good a candidate as any.

::::I disagree. I believe a viable administrator candidate has to be someone that I think could be a good community leader. I believe that Ryan has had conduct issues that prevent me from putting such faith in him yet. I believe that very little of it has to do with how you can deal with your explicit powers, for implicit powers are always much greater than explicit, and it is very rare that a major community member is incapable of exercising one's explicit powers effectively so that component, more often, is about "can I trust this person not to vandalize". | |||
::::If you must know, I have been an administrator on a few communities prior to coming to Halopedia - none of them wikis. I have dealt with things like banning users, blocking IPs, removing posts and changing skins. They were minimal responsibilities for me compared to what I was as an administrator. I understand the position well. --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 21:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC) | |||
